On Facebook: Israeli soldier posed with bound Arab

Personal embarrassment is sufficient punishment so that hopefully she realizes and changes her attitudes. Seems clear to me.

Can someone here help Simpson get it? Maybe a picture would be better than the obvious words about what lawful, civilized societies permit themselves.

More games...sigh. Hal in your opinion what do you think her outcome should be?

Let me make this easy for you Pike.

IMO, she's likely had enough public embarrassment already,

So what is a fit punishment according to Hal's answer?

I have to go, bye

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

That she's had enough personal embarrassment already and that the best thing that could happen would be that it changes her attitudes.

Why do you find that ambiguous?

As to me. But maybe others can chime in with answers that don't involve public flogging, kicking of teeth, or cancellation of this ex-soldier's Cable subscription.

As I've stated in post #50...

IMO, she's likely had enough public embarrassment already, as people that do stupid things sometimes regret their actions later. Hopefully, in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, she begins doing something more in the direction of reconciliation, aka, seeking ways to not be construed as an IDF bully. But then again, she isn't in uniform anymore, so maybe her plan should change.

That was 2 hours ago...

2 hours ago. Wait until he's still asking for an answer in 24 hours.

Questions w/out drama or games... darn!

read it again Pike.

and 2 hours ago you failed to give a answer.

I read it again. It still says the same thing it said yesterday.

Personal embarrassment = sufficient punishment.

Carry on misunderstanding.

Your reading comprehension is something you need to work on. Hal posted that he believes that the public embarrassment she experienced is sufficient but does not say that that in itself is sufficient punishment. All I wanted from the get go was a nice clear answer but all I ever get is convoluted responses.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

If he wanted her gang raped and strung up by the thumbs, I'm sure he'd have said so.

Stop inventing doubt and ambiguity where there isn't any.

Im not inventing sh!te look at how he phrased it. I think this link might help you.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Who was who brought up the punishment angle and demanded over and over to know how others felt that the soldier ought to be punished?

You.

I can't speak for Hal but I can tell you that I thought that line was totally irrelevant and had nothing to do with what was actually being discussed.

Now you're demanding answers because you perceive ambiguity where there isn't any. I'd suggest you do your own damned remedial reading comp.

And self-fulfilling prophesies have been all the rage in OT the last couple of days.

Is that exactly what I said?

That would be news to me.

You're playing games again Hal. Just admit it, you left your answer open. All I wanted was clarity and you had to play games and give me the run a round.

I demanded nothing I only wanted a opinion. As as Hal would say "Drama"
